Vänersborg's Museum

Welcome to a bygone world, which still feels strangely alive. We like to call it a British Museum in miniature.

We invite you to follow in the footsteps of the 19th century explorers – among Egyptian mummies from the days of the Pharaohs, African birds, fine china, European art, Scandinavian animals, minerals and the hunting rifle of legendary bear hunter Lloyd.

A stroll in the museum is a journey in time to a bygone world – which still feels strangely alive. Welcome to explore the oldest preserved museum interior in the country – a miniature British Museum!
